Talk:Carl Wickland

Removing three links to a dead site
This article cited as sources the following two web pages:


 * Biography
 * Reincarnation and Theosophy

It also included as a ref the following link


 * Reincarnation and Theosophy at www.harvestfields.netfirms.com

All three pages -- at harvestfields.ca aka harvestfields.netfirms.com -- are currently unhosted and simply redirect to the former site's isp. I have removed them. 142.254.3.38 (talk) 18:36, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Revised and clarified the Blavatsky "quote"
In the article as i found it, Wickland was quoted as attributing to Madame Blavatsky a recantation of her well-known belief in reincarnation. Upon looking up the ref source, it seems that the previous writer here did not understand the context. As the book itself makes clear, the supposed recantation was attributed by Mrs. Wickland, a spirit medium, to the dead spirit of the deceased Madame Blavatsky, who was speaking through Mrs. Wickland at the time. I have noted it as such on the article page, and the quotation makes a great deal more sense now. 142.254.3.38 (talk) 19:05, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Expansion of the article
I have expanded the article, with more facets of Dr. Wickland's theories and treatment methods explained. I know where to find a photo of Dr. and Mrs. Wickland and their Wimhurst generator, but even though it is quite old, i am unclear about copyright status or how to upload it, so i leave that task for someone else, should they wish to further improve the article. 142.254.3.38 (talk) 01:00, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
